The ancestor strikes again

I know you're trolling but its turning into truth at this point. Why the fuck isn't Valve/Steam doing anything against Epic? It's like they just gave up and stalling, hoping for the best.

>You don't even need the launcher to play the game

then don't make me download it.

because they don't care about developers

I have nothing against Epic but this whole drama is mass for shutins lol. PC gaming just aint hot rn unless you talking MMOs

>launcher doesn't matter
then why have it exclusive to a launcher?

Not like this.

I'd just wait for console release then.

Fuck Valve
Fuck steam
Fuck gaben
Fuck their shitt ass monopoly

trash rng game who gives a shit

They don't have to do anything. Epic is hemorrhaging its Fortnite/Tencent money, they even admit that buying exclusives is not a sustainable strategy. Valve can just wait them out.

because they're complacent, they know epic will keep shitting the bed and make them look better in comparison and thus they won't have to actually improve the service they offer, plus they make insane amounts of money off their own little microtransaction economy

Literally the only thing that Epic does for developers is the bigger cut, which is both unsustainable and inherently dishonest (because 30% is the standard cut for all storefronts selling games digitally, not just steam)

Images you can hear

youtube.com/watch?v=72QAAOaYW2M

The problem is that you're saying to ALL the stores that is OK to pay for exclusives, which will end up in microsoft and EA killing everything else as soon you say that this is a valid tactic.

Do you want to install Origin on your PC?

>unless you talking MMOs
>a dying genre with only two viable games in it right now
wut

DUDE BAD RNG LMAO!

No thanks.

Because they don't feel the need to reply.

Epic are burning their Fortnite money and Steam isn't even breaking a sweat. They have been making billions with Steam before Fortnite became a thing.

People really need to learn what a monopoly actually is. Because Valve isn't one by any fucking definition of the word. One company being dominant because it offers a markedly better product than all of its competition is not a monopoly.

> monopoly
Someone post the picture.

There's no news about this anywhere so fake and gay.

That's delusional. Every month that goes by and every E3 and whatever game con keeps getting more publishers/devs on Epics side. This isn't going to stop until Epic is bigger than Seam which is possible by 2025.

seek help. your delusions are overtaking your ability to think rationally.

I will remember your comment and have a nice laugh when Steam is less popular than Epic.

steam is still holding market share on it's laurels and esports scene.

You have to be realistic. This is bound to happen and no way to stop it.

>Why the fuck isn't Valve/Steam doing anything against Epic?
Because Epic is burning tens of millions buying up pretty unprofitable indie games in an attempt to win customers - a strategy that's constantly being undermined by them being so condescending towards customers.

What are they going to do against that? Burn even more and piss off even more people?

Epic is literally throwing away a shit ton of money to fight Steam and the Epic Store is likely working at a loss that's covered by communist money and Fortnite money.

you are severely underestimate how much money Fornite brings in.

I don't even remember what the fuck Epic showed off at E3 while I'm incredibly excited for Halo MCC, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2, Cyberpunk 2077 and Dyling Light 2. Really, what does Epic have? I only bought the Borderlands games years after they came out with all the DLC afterwards, I pirated Metro Exodus and didn't even like it compared to 2033 and LL, Pyre looked neat but it was a niche genre and did badly.

>Pyre looked neat but it was a niche genre and did badly
You think that did badly, just remember that Supergiant released another game afterwards that nobody has heard of or gives a shit about.

Dying Light 2 isn't guaranteed to be on Steam yet, is it?

Ah, I don't mean they themselves working at a loss, I mean the Epic Store itself.

Oh man, I'd be pretty fucking pissed if Timmy Tencent bought DL2.

>bound to happen
mate they tried windows 10 exclusive games and that wasnt taken well either, ALSO its been fucking non exclusive for a few fucking decades now

Did anyone here even finish the game

Same here. Hopefully they'll tell us with the demo they're going to show in 6 days if it is EGShit or not

Steam drones are going to be on their knees when Epic announces their partnership with Rockstar. B-b-but they will be losing Fortnite money each month. Who cares if they get RDR2 and GTA6?

Attached: EGS_Exclusive.png (1200x628, 953K)

It is stupid. Epic wants to create a competitor to Steam but Steam is so far ahead that simply making a 1-1 competitor with the same features will never get them ahead so they have to do unorthodox things to remain competitive. It's the same reason why Amazon can't have a competitor since they are so far ahead barring some major technological miracle that makes their system obsolete.

Tencent just want their spyware in as many computers as possible to gather information for the goverment, the data they can gather is the profit

Ah, yes another piratebay exclusive.

I like the art and the narrator and the music but I didnt finish it. Didnt even come close. Its too stressful and punishing

youtu.be/KbEMU7sgkrQ

Remake another one already

GTA profits literally make almost anything else obsolete, Tim would have to outright give away so much money for GTA that even 10-15 million sales wouldn't be enough to recoup it.

Thanks for paying for my pirated copy, Tim.

not if they help them develop crossplay. There are big plans coming with connecting the EGS to PS5/XBone2

Epic shilling in work, honestly just fuck off this board already

Don't give them any fucking ideas.

How do you expect Steam to crossplay with consoles

How can anyone honestly be excited about this garbage

Noone needs epic
What everybody wants is epic's money

Literally who gives a fuck? Reminder that if you defend big corporations online and you are not receiving any compensation for it, you are the ultimate cuckold and even Yea Forums janitors are better off than you are, because they don't have to pay to use Yea Forums, while you are that corporation's paypig.

I fail to see how its a problem, steam's at that

Is this a janny?

>I go to the store
>I buy a physical release of a game
>I cannot play it without making a Steam spyware DRM account
It's a monopoly.

They want money, nigger. They don't care where it comes from. If Epic wants to match 15 million sales, maybe Rockstar will do it.

Wow dude you are so cool. I wish I didn't have passion in my life.

Rockstar earns so much money that really, they don't need bribes. Epic if anything stands to lose more in that scenario. Right now most of the people taking bribes are losers and semi-successful indie devs. Also Ubisoft because it's free money for them.

Will somebody please think about the corporations!

>my passion is being a bootlicker
To each his own, I guess.

ANOTHER GAME I WONT HAVE TO PAY FOR

It's pretty fucking hilarious. There is a hilarious war on leddit where two communities are basically at war because one side worships corporations and the other is more consumer focused.

My passion is playing Fortnite & WWZ with my friends atm. I am also looking forward to playing BL3. There is nothing wrong with Epic unless you have heavily invested your life into Steam. Thank god I used Steam casually throughout my life or else I would have turned into one of you freaks.

If epic's deal wasn't profitable nobody would agree to it, and yet they do.
Sales on epic are not much lower than on steam proved by recent metro release and its sales.
TakeTwo has nothing to lose by going ex Epic and they get a shitload of money from the better store-publisher split on top of one-time boost from ex deal

I don't like it either but TakeTwo will make a money-making decision and its an easy one

Thanks Fatboy

Yea Forums here, I agree with you but just FYI the logos should be switched. I get that you probably have never seen Mad Men and have no context for the original image, but Don is actually the one getting utterly blown the fuck out. As is, this image is actually supporting Epic, which by your post is certainly not your intention.

>filthy zoomer Fortnitefag
Ah, never mind then.

Why don't they just sell on both platforms?

Attached: 1555418774166.jpg (435x571, 51K)

yeah ok. Go play morrowind and smoke pot or whatever you fucking boomers are doing nowadays.

It's not being upset that it's on epic, it's people angry about buying exclusivity. I don't care if epic succeeds or fails, when they start shoving piles of cash to make a game exclusive to their platform, that's just not right.

The fact that it doesn't need it won't make it not go for it
It's business and businesses exist to make money, epic ex yields more money and that's a fact
R doesn't give a damn about their reputation or they have no saying because of taketwo, whichever it is, just look at gta online and gtav support

Valve isn't a publicity traded company, so info is scarce, but the amount of money they generate is staggering. Looks at the size of the user base.

Why does Steam have to do anything? Epic will never get on their level. The fact that Gabe isn't even batting an eye at Epic proves how fucking chad he really is, Tim knows this and is furious, it's great.

That's what most people want to do to, but Epic will literally refuse to put up certain games unless they can get exclusivity, or at least a limited form of it (see BL3)

based retard.
Have you forgotten about Unreal Engine? The next gen of gaming is coming in 2020 and all the fancy new stuff is going to be announced. You haven't seen Epics attack on Steam yet.

Because they will eventually win by default. Look at Nintendo winning E3 every time just because they show some games.

And yet they do nothing with all of this money, no in-house developed games, any updates on the platform are underwhelming at best, the storefront is a mess.
They developed a good DRM, keep it running and count the money
I hope it dies

But Xbox won this year tho

stay delusional Tim, keep paying for my copies like a good boy

>You don't even need the launcher
So it's DRM free?

>My passion is playing Fortnite & WWZ with my friends atm.
Then go and fucking play it instead of being free PR for a multi-billion $ corporation on the Internet. There is nothing wrong with Epic. There is nothing wrong with Steam. There is everything wrong with engaging into retarded battle of autists where they compete in the brand loyalty.

Why do people think Gabe has anything to do with Valve or Steam in 2019? It's like saying the Queen is running the UK.

steam doesn't need to help epic embarrass itself, epic does this pretty well by itself, in 10 years when it manages to get to the level of today's steam, maybe it could do a thing and shut epic down for another decade

Honestly, I would rather worry about gog if costumers become unsatisfied with steam

Who

then why do you defend Steam so heavily? muh brand loyalty

no its not, it's the same way steam is, this copypasta is either made to make you see for yourself and hopefully keep using epic or just plain retard ignoring background/startup elements

>keeps getting more publishers/devs on Epics side

Those devs are only there for the money and the fact that they're contractually bound to stay there for a certain amount of time before moving to Steam

It is literally suicide to announce that you're that loyal to Epic if you're an indie dev and plan on making anything at all in the future

>There is nothing wrong with Epic
>There is nothing wrong with Steam
Wrong, there is plenty wrong with both
How the fuck did it came to this, ppl defending their favorite DRM for fucks sake

>Click icon
>Epic launches and tells you to login before you can play
>YOU DONT EVEN NEED A LAUNCHER GUYS WHY YOU MAD
I know its bait and it worked good job faggot

While you're there, please claim your free EPIC™ games

Ah yes, all the stupid devs/publishers commiting suicide. Maybe you should commit suicide since all you do is suck Gabe's dick all day.

Probably because epic is run by hacks who think throwing money at something is a good long term strategy. Hell they only implemented a few of some really basic features and even that is limited.

Thing is, the sales arent down an inch on epic
Most ppl just don't give a fuck, others will do it fo play their favorite new game

Store exclusivity is fucking retarded
It's like Gamestop exclusive bonuses except it's the entire game

>All he has is an ad hominem
Screencap this and come back in a year, tell me if you feel like a retard

They are actually removing cloud-saving from some games, I guess they ran out of the server space

At least you don't have to buy multiple copies to get all content

I won't be back here in a year. You are all mentally handicapped.

>th all of this money, no in-house developed games, any updates on the platform are underwhelming at best, the storefront is a mess.

The future, user, they stave off the inevitable future. For you.
One day, at the end of your life, you will find yourself staring upon what appears to be an endless beach. As you peer in the distance, you will catch glimpses of fading memories. All of your past steps will be laid out before you, and in those hardest of moments, when you felt as though you had no hope in the world, you will find only one set of footprints. You will turn to the large man beside you and ask "why, when my life was at the lowest point, are there only one set of footprints? Where were you then?" The man will scratch his thick beard, and look down at you and say "Am I not Gaben? Did I not bring you 90% off bundles and more? Do you not remember the Christmas sales of old? I'm sorry that I was not there in your darkest moments, but I was away, working on something that would bring the light back again" From his monstrous tent like jacket he will produce something and hand it to you. "I call it the white box" he will say with a smile, I Htink you will 3njoy it.

Wait, they already ran out of space for the few games that had cloud saving, it's actually impressive how incompetent epic is despite having more money and resources.

One day friend, one day

fuck you user, you have no idea how much my heart just sank

How long will this one take to reach ps4?

right after they are done censoring the game I assume

is that really her? she got a bogadoff facial structure

I'll admit if it's not some limited time shit I'll buy RDR2 because I want to play RDO on PC finally but if it's just a 1 year deal I'll keep playing it on PS4 and buy it on steam later.

>I want to play RDO
Just sent them your money directly, why bother with buying packs

Fuck Steam good guys Epic fighting the good fight

when it comes to darkest dungeon i have a fucking problem
Most modders and some writers are still loyal to steam, and they're planning to "Update" the mods for the second game, unless Epic has something akin to steam workshop im afraid i'll stick to my guns

Yeah yeah, "I'm leaving, you're all retards and I'm smarter than you, etc."

See you tomorrow, and the day after that, and the month after that, and the year after that faggot

Because Epic is paying them more money than they could make elsewhere. The reason most B2B interactions take place.

The devs are being paid enough by Epic that no amount of bad PR can change the fact that they are assured to have a profit now.

Future games are pipe-dreams if they can't stay afloat NOW

so where would someone go to torrent games other than tpb? not that a law abiding citizen like me would do such a thing.

Fuck if we’re not careful this could happen as soon as 2011.

You're better of just downloading it directly in parts instead, less legal ground to worry about

rocket league? its not steam thats at fault its the (((companies))) that want you to buy it on every platform.

ask steam
kys drone

I actually prefer origin to steam, their store suckes major dick tho

I've been so fucking spoiled by the steam workshop. I started playing a game without proper mod or workshop support. It felt like I traveled back to the dark ages. At least nexus has improved somewhat since.

pretend i am retarded* and dont know shit about procuring totally legal and cool open source software like you are referring to. where would i download directly these parts

*i am

still, you have to admit The workshop makes things simpler
you just have to hit subscire on something you like the the thing installs itself, even a colosal retard like me it's getting into modding thanks to it
And some people on the Workshop even help you out when t comes to modding

Why is it that suddenly all indie devs are at death's door? How were they surviving before last year?

A lost for Steam is a win for gamers.

Sales data for Metro, dig it up yourself if your interested

What sales data? All they said was that it sold more than the original release of Metro. Not even redux, just the original release. There were no numbers

you are a mensch

sales for metro, satisfactory, world war z, like even a no name indie gets 500k units, world war z 700k + now imagine how many metro units they sold ? easly 1 million

Gay Ben fell for the VR meme

Its a troll

>like even a no name indie gets 500k units
>no name indie
>already made a few successful games
>can't even compare to Factorio
Yeah sure maybe Metro even sold a billion

Who says they were? Only the most interesting indie games find real success and keep the devs afloat. The majority of indie games are lost amidst a sea of the same that no one has the time to wade through.

So what, epic are just keeping shitters afloat?

>It's the same reason why Amazon can't have a competitor since they are so far ahead barring some major technological miracle that makes their system obsolete.

which makes me wonder why Walmart wants to try and compete

They give away money for basically nothing (to major publishers) so why not take the opportunity and fuck the loser dry

>Darkest Dungeon's robust modding scene on steam is one of the biggest draws to it
>Switching to a service that doesn't have a shopping cart, let alone modding support

I don't buy it.

The shitters who are actually showing off relatively polished products

As a lot of the devs who heralded the coming of the Epic store as a saviour from the overcrowded pits of Steam found, they're not buying just any one's game (obviously or they'd just have the same problem)

>Epic CARES about indie devs like us, unlike Valve who does nothing to stop MY game from being drowned out by mountains of crap hackjobs!
>W-what do you mean Epic doesn't want my game? I'M not one of the trash devs, all the OTHERS are! MY colourful retro pixel-art platformer is SPECIAL!

They wanted DARQ, which is absolutely boring indie trash
